Steve Gallow - A Year in Photos

With this blog I have begun a journey to improve my photography skills. My goal is to take photos everyday, and post my favorite photo from that day on this blog. So far, I have learned a lot, and try to share my experiences. Many of you have made comments on the blog, via email, or when you see me in person. I really appreciate all of them. I learn a lot from each of you. I hope that you will join me in my journey, and help me along the way. I have so much to learn.

Week 17, Day 116, August 25, 2009 Dad's Birthday, Winner of week 17 in online viewer poll.

Today is my father's 73 birthday. Two of his most favorite things in the world are the Boston Red Sox, and Elderberry Pie.

Normally my father doesn't like having his photo taken, but he has a great sense of humor. I proposed a photo where he would wear his hat and cut his pie. He willingly agreed, and I'm really happy for it. I think the photo captured his sense of humor, and his love of the Red Sox, and pie.

Happy Birthday Dad. I hope that you get to enjoy most of the pie, without having to share to much of it.

Lessons Learned:

Don't give up on trying to get photos of people who don't like to have their photos taken.

Photo details: Exposure time 1/30, Aperture f/2.5, ISO 100, Focal Length 50 mm, 35 mm equivalent focal length 81mm, Lens Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, hand held.
